Phonology is the study of speech sounds. After a near death mountain bike riding accident in October 2009, I broke many bones and had a severe concussion that caused me to briefly lose my ability to think and speak. I spent many months relearning how to both sound out letters of the alphabet and remember which letter started any word I was trying to spell, even in simple emails. I was encouraged by many members of my "brain team" at Walter Reade Hospital to start composing. Since I could still read music and play my instrument, they pushed me to use composition as a therapy to hopefully get back to normal. I was further encouraged after Melinda Wagner heard our Marine Band percussion group perform my piece Rud-O-Meister. She too very nicely encouraged me to continue to compose. Phonology can also mean: an overall description of the sounds of a given language. Thus, we could tie that in to mean the musical language. |
